    I'll probably take a lot of **** for this, but I think Tarver would be a tougher fight for Calzaghe than many of you think.

    Tarver didn't just beat Jones because of the whole 'weight drain' thing, it was because he found ways to counter Jones's unorthodox style. He watched Jones carefully throughout his career to the point that he actually understood Jones's chicken fighting style of using unorthodox feints, misdirection, even 'slight of hand' if you will.. and when Jones got ready to use one of those tactics, Tarver gave him a jab or feint to worry about and kept him off balance.

    If Tarver can figure out one crazy style, why not Calzaghe's style? Its much more straight forward than Jones, but also consider that Tarver is a BIG light heavyweight with a good jab and pretty decent power. Also he is a southpaw, and Calzaghe has never fougt any decent southpaws.

    I'm not saying Tarver will win, or is at any advantage... but its a harder fight for Calzaghe than people are saying!!

    I agree and i really dislike Tarver. He would be a really hard fight for Joe. Big strong guy, good power and a lefty aswell

    Aha, yeah I forgot to mention that as well, I can't stand him either, and I'm a Calzaghe fan as well. **** when B-Hop beat Tarver I was standing up in my living room cheering!

    "Thats right Trinidad the mother****er!"
